Inspired by nature itself, Grand Seiko creates watches that align with the natural passing of time. Using metals and crystals that are discovered in nature, the brand's watchmakers dexterously transform these into pieces that pay tribute to their origin. While the watches embody wildlife, they resist the corrosion and tarnishing that nature's elements can incite, instead its horological creations retain a brilliant hue and challenge time through their lack of senescence.The Masterpiece collection proves a prime example of Grand Seiko's philosophy, namely to create watches that are 'reliable to wear until grandchildren' while displaying the 'pride of Japanese' culture. Fashioned by the company's most skilled watchmakers, the Grand Seiko Spring Drive and quartz mineral that make up these timepieces ensure their reliability. The Evolution 9 collection similarly comprises a high caliber and confidently cabinets Grand Seiko's technical advancements.
